Be it known that 1, JAMES W. MURRAY, a citizen of the United States, residi'ngat FortlMcPherson, in the county. of Fulton .and State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Fillers for Ice- Cream Cones, *of which the following is a specification.

Thisjinventionl relates to fillers for ice cream cones and the object of the invention is the provision of a simple, convenient-1y. op-

erated and handy tool wherebyicecream maybe dipped from the can-or other receptacle, Inoldeddnto proper form to be ie-- ceived by the cone andreadily discharged.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a cone vfiller haying meansto separate the separate sections of a cup whereby the cream "may be discharged therefrom and to simultaneously and automatically rotate the cup arms; whereby the 's1nall ends thereof may be separated a suiH-' oient distance to permit the passage of the large end of the. QIBBDL cone contained therein.

A still further object of the invention is the provision ofmeans forlocking the'cup' sectionsin closed operative position. v

Further objects of the invention will at) pear as'the following specific description is read in connection With the accompanying cation, and in which drawings, which form a part'of this appli- Figure l is a top plan View. Fig.2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3', is a central longitii dinal section on. the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4: is a transverse section on the'line.

--1--& qt Fig. 1L1 'Fig.f 5 is, a similar view on the line '5'5 of Fig.1. Fig. 6 is asimilar' View on the linefi fi of Fig; 1.

Referring'more particularly tothe draw-Q ingsfl and2representthehandles of the dev1ce, 'whicli are preferably U-shaped in cross section. The outer ends of the handies are bowed 'so'. as to forrn the proper is occupied by'asecln'on of'a sqnaretnb'e t5 having aperture 7 therein to permit the passage 'ofthebolt and this tube rholds the motion between the handles.

Between the flanges in the outer ends oi the handle members are hearings S, in wh ch are jonrnaled the cup supporting arms 9 x V g parts in separated relation and prevents lost having their outer ends curved at 10 to ro ceive the separate halves 11 and 12- of the cone'shaped cup 13. The arms 5) are cir order in cross section and their inner ends are provided with grooves Lt into which are placed the lingers iii formed ifroln the Upper flanges and bent into operative position after the shafts are properly positioned. I v v Adjacent the inner ends of .7 there are threaded into the shafts, il'i"4e)?.s 16 and \17. The eye 16 is connected to the handle 1 by a link 18 While the eye li is onin- 'nected to the handle'member-Qby a linkilii, so thatwhen' the inner ends of the; handle members are squeezed together nd the outer ends thereby separated the links will pull upon the eyes and rotate the 'shai ts or arms 9 in their bearings 8. The separate halves of the'cup 13 are kept in engagement with each other By means of a, coil spring 20 which is held in the rear'of the ears 3 upon lateral projections 21 formed by bending up lateral extensions ofthe handle members. The jaw members are locked together by .means ofa spring bar 22 which is securedto I the handle member 1 forwa rd of the pit ta l ears and has its opposite end lying in, a re -cess 23 and has a depending flange 24: to overhang the vniember' 2. Secured to the under side of the free end of the bar 522 and lying substantially parallel with. the lnnidle member 2 is an. operatin lever 25 which bent into a compound curve so as toform a Jfulcrum -pbint 26 which bears upon the top of the handle member 2' so that 'whenfthe end' of the bar 22 will be carried out of the V recess and the defiending flange disengaged from the handle members 2, whereby the cup sectionsmay be separated.

i i'lhe. cup sections 11 and 12 each comprises half of hollow invertedlcone and each haize inwardly'extended flanges and which; when the sections are together; upon opposite sides of the cup form see be embedded in the cre-am dipped therein so that when the arms and sections separated thetlange 27 will'loosen the cream in the section 12 While the flange loosen the cream in the section 11. In the operation of the device the spring normally keeps the sections of the cup together and the spring member locks them in such a position that they cannot separate when being used in hard cream. After the cup has been dipped full thejaws are separated by first releasing the spring bar in the manner described and pressing the handle members together against the tension of the spring' This action separates the arms 9 and the cup sections so as to release the cream in said sections. However, as the large end of the cream cone will be unable to pass the small end of the cup sections it is necessary that these small ends be turned outwardly. The links 18 and 19 are there I fore provided so that as the outer ends of the handle members are separated the links will pull upon the eyes and turn the arms in their bearings a sufficient distance to separate the lower or small end of the cone sections a distance suflicient to permit the passage of the large end. Thus the cream cone may beformed and released for deposit into 3 its cone-shapedreceptacle.

Having thus described the invention, What- Ir'clalm as new 1s:- i v '1. In combination a pair of pivoted members, coacting cup sectionscarried by said members, means to lock the cup sectlons together, said means comprising a transverse bar, actuating means connected tothe free end of said bar and having a portion thereof bent to form a fulcrum point.

2. In combination a pair-of-pivoted 1nembers, arms rotatably mounted on said mem- -bers, a pair of cup sections carried by said arms, means for holding said cup sections normally together, means to operate the said sections, meaps acting in the operation of said sections to automatically rotate the arms and cause the small ends of the sections to operate at a greater speed than the large ends, said "means comprising closed links positioned transversely of the handle and having one end secured to the said arms while the other end 18 securedto the beartions to operate at a greater speed than the large end, said arms being provided at their ..inner portions with grooves, fingers formed on the upper flange portion of the handle and bent into the grooves after the shafts are properly positioned.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
